Cougarjack Hello: and hello to all military vehicle enthusiasts:
Congratulations... Whenever I see your message posting ...damm it, I like
them !
I don't know where you're coming from, & we could be worlds apart on many
things
...but I like your "(MVPA)" MILITARY VEHICLE POLITICAL ADVICE !
(for instance, I love my '42mb jeep... n hug it daily)
I have always loved to see pictures of jeeps, especially in the
magazines/movies.
Back then, I was a young teenager in Australia, with not a political bone in
my body.
BUT, But, But,
I just knew that what the "The Spoilt Rich Brat Was Doing... Was WRONG -
That POSING Was Wrong, That Visit Was Wrong" ...and the War?
The Australian press, at that time carried the story. I guess I was too
young to understand Vietnam... the commnist and democracy push for winning.
Just far, far too complicated for this MVehicle site!
I read somewher a year or so back, that Jane made around 100 million dallars
from her Exercise Video...
I'll Make A Bet, she probably has never donated any of it to the families of
those captured men who died in those prison camps or even donated to the
returned vets assoc's. What can anyone or an exceedingly rich "human being"
do with all that money? I guess a huge tombstone, one day, really huge!
Now for the MV stuff
Anyway Cougarjack, what is you MV of choice?
Other than choice, what MV's have you aquired, play with... tear down...
rebuild... curs at regulary?
Regards,
ol' jeep breath,
Rob P.

I say Amen to that! I'm sure that most of the things in the letter about
Hanoi Jane are exaggerations, but I do clearly remember that epic newsphoto
of her sitting in the saddle of an NVA anti-aircraft gun, NVA helmet on her
head, and a caption which made me believe she would have shot the thing at
American aircraft.
She apologized to the enemy for the actions of our aviators, and cast a
shadow on all of Hollywood that day, in my eyes. This, for me, had the same
degree of impact as the famed Iwo Jima shot of the guys putting up the flag
on Suribachi. I'll never forget her act, and I have boycotted her efforts in
the theater ever since.
With the amount of anti-American sentiment I'm hearing, Jane should be a
heroine in several "foreign" countries.
In fact, I think that's where she belongs. In the US, she was never
anything more than an unpleasant, confused tart with a rich daddy and
eccentric husband. My 2 cents.
OB Mil-Veh content:
When Euro-Disney opened, the ceremony was accompanied by a huge fireworks
display, and a convoy of brightly decorated jeeps. The day after, France
surrendered.
